A few years ago, Hull won the CC and then made the grand final the next year. It looked like they were going to make the big 2, a big 3. But then they appointed a clueless manager and they have gone backwards at an alarming rate, a bit like Bradford, who like Hull, went with sentiment in appointing some random ex player, rather than a coach who knew what he was doing.

ditto for bradford, though tbh, hull were aiming for sentiment as they were fishing (no pun intended) for McNamara while he was Noble's assistant

I think that's a bit unfair on Hull. I mean they've actually won more than one game in the league this year and don't hold the record for the longest losing streak in Super League.

Hull need to sign a quality coach for a change. Jason Taylor, Neil Henry would be realistic signings even Graham Murray would be a good appointment if he could get us playing exciting rugby again. I would love us to sign Des Hasler but not much chance of that I very much doubt.

We also need a world class 7 is a must! Regarding player signings a 7 has got to be the main priority. Orford or Finch seem the most likely to be available and would be over the moon with either of these.

An elusive, speedy centre who can use his winger properly would also be great along with a Mark O'Meley type prop.

Depending what happens with Motu Tony (His injury/returning to the NRL) and he does leave at the end of the season. I would love to sign K. Hunt from the Broncos if Horne doesn't stay at FB. If he does then I'd also like to sign a decent 6 to play alongside a world class 7.

Lastly, Hull need to stop giving out contract extentions just for the sake of it, it seems. Players such as Graeme Horne should never be a starting centre for a top 8 side and should only be a sqaud/ back up player. Radders needs to go as he offers the team absoloutley nothing in attack and is just a plodder.

Although it does seem good to have so many Hull born players in the team the simple fact is that the majority of them aren't anything better than average super league player ie G. Horne, King, Lee, Radford. Yet they all seem to be regulars in the side, and if they were upto much other teams would be trying to sign them.

Stop been cheap Hull and sign world class players in positions we need starting with a coach and and SH.

so basicly you need a new team LOL being in 2million in debt I can see why there being cheap as for fitzgibbon or however you spell it he used to be class but is to old now I mean he is 32 this year and pushing 33 by the time he gets here bad signing in my view considering the players you tried to sign like dobson and released a world class fullback
